The victim, 22-year-old Ryan Lee Johnson, was shot to death shortly before 3:20 p.m. Jan. 26, 2012, outside Bales Thriftway in Aloha. Jeffrey Johnson, was arrested within 30 minutes of the fatal shooting.

The two men are not related, but Jeffrey Johnson is grandfather to Ryan Johnson’s now-5-year-old son. Court records show that Ryan Johnson had been embroiled in a lengthy custody dispute with the boy’s mother, Megan Johnson. The young parents had a no-contact order and her father, Jeffrey Johnson, was the court-designated supervisor of Ryan Johnson’s parenting time, according to records.
